I don't think they can beat them at all let alone easily. Is this because last week Philly was overhyped to the point that ppl thought they would reach the finals? So now it makes the Celtics look better?
You have to admire Lebron’s dedication to the game I also like his dedication to defense and leadership
Sixers choking again, sigh...could’ve been up 2-1 or down 1-2 at least. Covington is the one not giving them anything on offense, a shell of his regular season form and Simmons non-threat from outside is making it too easy for Boston. Young team with improvements to make, they’ll be fine, but they’re better than this. It’s not been a complete beat down, they’ve been close in every game.
Boston makes better decisions, better defensively, has the better coach. Philly is similar, they just need couple of years. For all this talent to really mesh.
The problem for Philly is that while everyone should get better and they should get better as a whole (given youth improvements), they have a lot of question marks (much more then lets say Boston). Will Simmons going to learn to shoot a lick? How till Fultz do? Will Embiid going to stay healthy ? How are they going to manage cap space (Redick/Belli/Ilyasova all FA's who are major players for them, will they stick, will get replaced by lesser or better players).
18 sec left, no shot clock, up by 1 and proceeded to shoot over a crowd. Huge mental mistake by Simmons. Embiid is supremely talented but hasn’t been well coached or is not very coachable. He lack fundamentals and has a low bbiq. Not sealing off your defender to get an inbound pass... taking poor shots..
Tickets just went on sale for Game 5 in Boston for Wednesday night. The NBA isn't even trying to hide their efforts to extend these series.
Philly and Boston are supposed to be the 2 teams running the East for years to come, and Boston is close to sweeping Philly without Kyrie and Hayward. Tatum and Brown will only continue to get better, and Fultz has seemingly forgot how to shoot.
I think Philly will be replaced by Indy, but Boston , we will definetly will hear from them ,in years to come .
